DrumBoiler Modeling in Modelica

votes

I want to get into modeling with modelica especially the thermial and fluid branches. So now I am reversing and altering examples from stackoverflow and the modelica library to get to know the language better.

At the moment I try to understand Modelica.Fluid.Examples.DrumBoiler.DrumBoiler. I have no problems to comprehend what the model does physically. But when I rebuilt it, I get the error message:

Function Cv.from_bar not found in scope DrumBoiler.

I rebuild the model from scratch and I copied the example from the library. Both the same problem. The problem lies here:

Modelica.Fluid.Sources.FixedBoundary sink(
nPorts = 1, 
p = Cv.from_bar(0.5), <-- problem
redeclare package Medium = Modelica.Media.Water.StandardWaterOnePhase, 
T = 500)

In order to define the starting (?) pressure of the sink, a function is called. But the function was not defined anywhere. And yet the model works when I simulate it from the library, but it does not when I copy it from there.

What am I missing? I am using OMedit.

The function is here: Modelica.SIunits.Conversions.from_bar. You can use import to import it, or import Cv = Modelica.SIunits.Conversions to import it under the shorter alias name Cv.
